Tomorrow (8 a.m. to noon) is Retreat Day 2. Council will discuss its other priorities, then rank everything so staff can tackle stuff as it comes up.
This has been your Saturday morning recap.

With 30 min left in this retreat, we have come to the Ranking of the Things.

Council took its proposals from 42 to 22. Now we rank them.
Staff has capacity for 10-12 new things.
So council members are going to pick their top 10.

This last year is going to be a catch-all of the remaining proposals.
First: Nuisance abatement (trash, parking, noise, parties)
This started as part of the Uni Hill work, which got a lot of attention after 2021's riot. It's already ongoing, so may not need to be a new priority.
Some of the ideas, tho, would require more resources. Like Winer's request to shift to a patrol-based model, vs. complaint based.

Two proposals under Election priorities:
Put together (or revive) an elections working group
Move CC elections to even years
Benjamin: This is an extension of work already started to include more people in our community, via direct election of the mayor (OK'd in 2020) and our racial equity work.
Benjamin was a member of the previous election and campaign finance working group, "which was limited in scope and reactionary by design."

Next: Transportation priorities, by Benjamin and Friend
Another area where staff said they can't add anything new without compromising existing work. Here, though, the limitation was budget, not staff. (Although maybe it's both; they focused on the budget.)
65% of crashes occur on our arterial roads, Benjamin says. So that's where the vision is:
- Dedicated bus lane on Broadway
- Baseline protected bike lanes between 30th and Foothills
- Iris protected bike lanes
- 30th St protected bike lanes

Alright: Homelessness.
Speer and Joseph handling this, and Speer dives right in: A day shelter
The goal: A low-barrier day shelter that measurably improves public spaces and the health/wellbeing of the unhoused.
That's exactly what a group of nonprofit service providers asked the city for this week: boulderbeat.news/2022/01/21/bou…
